Quick/easy question

Does one need to take their MINI to a 'MINI' dealership to get it worked on, or could one also take it to a BMW dealership?

It dawned on me the other day that when I get my MCS in July from the closest dealer to me (about 350miles!), it'll be a butt to have to drive 6 hours one way to have a 'Check Engine' light troubleshot or regular maitenance.

You can take your car to any service center, or do it yourself. If you want the free service, or warranty work, you got to go to MINI. At least, the BMW dealer near me won't do it.
